I would readily buy another TYM. I bought the two tractors I have primarily due to the availability of engine components. The Mitsubishi S3L series engines were used by a lot of manufacturers, in a lot of applications, and parts are readily available, at relatively low cost.
But, if buying new would shop around a bit. Since Covid, getting some of the parts out of Korea has been problematic, but the dealer I go through sells and services several brands and says that seem to be universal right now.

1) They cost quite a bit less than green or orange. In most cases, a lot less. This goes for new or used.
2) They are relatively simple, reliable and don't require expensive OEM fluids or filters in most cases.
3) I like the fact I was able to speak directly to a TYM regional rep when I had problems with my T224 before I took delivery of it. I also like that I have a "platinum" dealer within 100 miles of me.
The bads are going to be the same with any Asian, Indian, etc import. The rubber, plastic and soft parts tend to not take the elements well. Some welds and metallurgy can be iffy as well, but I think a lot of the bends and breaks you see people post up are due mostly to operator error.
I would not have a lot of faith in a TYM that needed to be used hard daily, commercial use or something I relied on to make a living.
